How long can
refrigerated pickle products be stored in the
refrigerator?

Homemade, deli-style dill pickles must be stored in the
refrigerator. If they are made from fresh, sound
cucumbers and allowed to ferment for a full week, they
should keep in the refrigerator for about two months. It
is difficult to predict how long "refrigerator pickles"
- made by packing cucumbers into jars, covering with a
cold vinegar solution, closing with lids, and
refrigerating - will keep. It depends on the condition
of the cucumbers at the time of pickling and the
strength of the vinegar solution. Spoilage of
refrigerated pickle products would, of course, be
obvious - mold, bubbling, off odor, mushiness,
slipperiness. As long as refrigerated pickles show no
evidence of spoilage, they may be safely consumed.
